HUNSLET CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE

LUPTON STREET, HUNSLET, LEEDS, LS10 2QR ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CHARITIES COMMISSION, JULY 2022

The Church Board act as the Board of Managing Trustees for the Hunslet Church of the Nazarene C.I.O.

We have continued to meet both formally and informally after services (or by telephone/email during the covid19 lockdown) as required, to discuss issues that required attention, Each member of the Board continues to contribute to the effective management of the church to the best of their ability, as they have been led of the Lord and a consensus in all decisions continues to be reached that takes the church forward.

The church continues to witness to those who attend the services and associated activities together with its Facebook and internet witness to those in the UK and worldwide.

The church board continues to seek the will of God concerning all its activities and we will serve the Lord as He directs us, both individually and as a corporate body of members.

Statistically

Our membership has remained at 7, however, our attendance when services restarted has held steady with no losses due to the shutdown, the board appreciates the commitment and faithfulness of all attendees.

Financially

The church’s finances considering the loss of rental income from the manse is holding up reasonably well...

It was hoped that the sale of the manse would allow us to carry out major refurbishments of the church building, however, the District Properties Board advise that they will not allow the release of the funds of the sale due to these being restricted to being used to purchase another manse. It is hoped that an investment opportunity will arise that will provide the church with an income stream to replace in full or part the income previously received in rent.

Spiritually

The Lord continues to bless the church family, both members and friends, spiritually as we seek to continue to grow in our knowledge of, and faith in, the Lord and our commitment to each other as a family of God.

The future

We are looking for God’s guidance in the future, confident that though we are few in number at present, the Lord has a ministry here in Hunslet and wider afield, still to carry out. .

I closed the last 2 years’ reports with the following and I firmly believe that it still applies today.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NKJV)

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

May we always be ready to do good work for the Master Who has done so much for us.

Respectfully submitted
